Very cool! When I started in business aviation I did sales for National Flight Services, they are a Honeywell Service Center (TPE331) so I was able to attend several of the NAAA shows and chat with the crop dusting crowd.

I had N430DP’s engine mount repaired in 2 places by a welder in Brighton, MI. He is a certified FAA welder working for Delta. He was able to blast, inspect, repair, and paint in his shop. Turned out wonderful.

I’m interested. Please add me. Thanks Dean.

Ashley,

I am of the Betzoldt clan, just sometimes keep that on the down low… LOL. I will give Cassidy a ring and see what he has to say. Being in the corporate aviation industry, the insurance game is such a joke (cartel) when it comes to what they are charging. Appreciate the info and I will let my grandpa know you say hello! He just sold his…[Read more]

Hi TC,

Thanks for the info! On the fiberglass seat buckets – can I use those and just redo the original Meyers seats? I think this will be necessary purchase either way.

Ed,

Thank you for that info! I appreciate the feedback.

Hi Joel!

I will be out and about your way sometime in early 2021 visiting customers and would be happy to meet you at the airport somewhere. I have a B model, N430DP that I use for business travel.

Hi Ed!

I hope you had a great holiday as well. Thank you for the information; I kind of figured I’d have to bite the bullet for this next year before getting some relief…. That being said, I am planning to knock out my instrument this spring. I’m lucky to only have the 200 available for flying! Lots of takeoffs and landings so far.

Mark – That is great info! Thank you for that. Will try that out next time.

Thanks Ed! Look forward to meeting everyone once this crazy virus is under control!

Hi Ed – Yes, Flip’s aircraft is ours. Understood on the trim gauge. Knowing I was the last one to fly it, not a big deal, but just used to looking at a gauge before T/O and making sure things are set.

Hi Ed!

Since I am new to flying the 200, so far I’ve honed in on 110 MPH for DW, 90 MPH on base and final. I have yet to use full flaps, only T/O setting for landing. Since the travel ban has been in effect, we have yet to take N430DP on a customer visit trip yet, so just been doing cycles in the pattern and stalls, etc. to learn the systems.…[Read more]

I’m eager to chat! What would you like to talk about here in the forum?
